“I’m pro-Vaxx, but don’t you think it’s ludicrous that you had to get all three vaccines when you only needed one?”
From the CDC’s web site:
“Receiving MMR vaccine rather than the separate component vaccines results in fewer shots and decreases the chance of delays in protection against all three diseases (measles, mumps and rubella). ”
One of the things that the anti-vaxxers whine about is “too many shots”. The vaccine manufacturer discontinued production of the monovalent vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella in 2011 after this recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
